  • I-9 Corrections

    • The I-9 form may need to be corrected after it has been signed. For example:

      • Incorrect data entry may have been made on the form by either the employee or the employer.
      • The employee may not have been issued a Social Security Number (SSN) when they completed the form initially. Later, the Social Security Administration issues the SSN.
      • The employee presented a receipt for a lost or stolen document.
      • Section 3/Reverification was completed in error.

      The proper I-9 corrections permissions must be enabled within your account.  Any field within the I-9 form is able to be corrected.  All I-9 form corrections will be stored in the Audit Trail.

    • To Make Corrections:

      Open the "Manage I-9 Forms" tab in your HireRight Account

      1. Locate and right-click on the form you want to correct.
      2. From the menu, choose Correct I-9 Form. Depending on your permissions, a dialog box will open with several options.
      3. Choose the appropriate radio button regarding who will make the correction(s). If you choose to send the form to the Employee or the Hiring Manager, you will be required to enter a name and e-mail.  If the Employee has completed more than one Section 3, you will be required to select the appropriate Section 3 to correct based on the completion date.
